Aircell goes live

You may have read the media reports already. I'm certainly not the first to report on it. Aircell opened their service up on American Airlines.

The above picture is from the report on Gizmodo. What is interesting about the picture is it shows one of the major obstacles in using this service -- room to use your laptop. The guy in the picture looks much thinner than me too. Most laptop users on aircraft have experienced the front seatback coming back and trying to avoid catching the screen on the seat. I don't know of any broken laptops from this but I wouldn't doubt it.

One other obstacle on these transcontinental flights is battery power. I have not used any, but I heard some airlines (maybe American ?) have passenger power outlets.

Here's an idea that would really help - a better seat design and layout. Check out the "Cozy Suite". I read that Delta will be getting them someday.

about lisleman

I was not born lisleman. I moved there. I was born a baby. I started breathing air more than sixty years ago. Oh if you happen to read a news report about
"Lisle man" please notice my moniker is one word. I'm not responsible
for my crazy neighbors.

Sha la la lala live for today.

One of the best things of my life
(everyone's I think) is learning. I like science especially physics.
Don't ever stop asking why because there is an endless amount to
learn. Two of our daughters became teachers. This and our grandkids keeps the learning idea alive for me.

I've accepted that we all have different talents. Most of time this works well for everyone unless your talent is illegal.

Blog on and don't lose that linky feeling.

Does anyone read this far down on these things? I should hide a secret password to a bank account with some money in it. Anyone have a spare bank account with a little cash?
